Euro 2020: Lawro takes on BBC Radio 5 Live pundits to predict who will win the semi-finals
- Published
BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is taking on BBC Radio 5 Live's pundits, presenters and commentators to predict the outcome of every game at the 2020 European Championship.
With just the final remaining, Lawro is bottom of the scoreboard - with former England goalkeeper Rob Green taking a late lead.
Lawro did correctly pick all four winners of the quarter-finals, though, and also predicted England would beat Denmark 2-1.
Lawro's predictions for the semi-finals
Games | Score | Lawro's prediction |
---|---|---|
Tuesday, 6 July | ||
Italy v Spain | P1-1 | 1-2 |
Wednesday, 7 July | ||
England v Denmark | 2-1 | 2-1 |
P next to team name = team won on penalties
A correct result (picking whether a team wins or loses, whether it happens in normal time or after extra time or penalties) is worth 10 points. So, if you tip England to beat Ukraine 2-1 and the Three Lions end up winning on penalties, you get 10 points.
The exact score earns 40 points, as does correctly predicting that a team will win on penalties, regardless of the score, correct or not. So if you tip Czech Republic P2-2 Denmark and the game finishes 1-1 but the Czech Republic win on penalties, you get 40 points, the same as if you get if you had said Czech Republic P1-1 Denmark.
